Deanna, my opinion is superstitions are like buttholes, everybody has one!
Considering the fact the thoughtprocess and or faith can move mountains, I am sure that if you are convinced that such a superstition can take for, that it will. Its a matter of changing the "thought process within", the "faith which you place into it" manifests its formation.
So heres an idea. Crunch your eyebrows down and pucker, like you use to do as a toddler when something didnt go your way. Then say outloud to yourself "Nope, anna don`t want that to happen anymore" and
boom you`ve changed the thought process.
The Ultimate of all above, below, left and right chooses time, place and situation inwhich to call its spirit home, not 2 spoons!
Love ya,
